Patellofemoral pain (PFP)
is such a common complaint. From sedentary to athletic populations, the origins vary; diagnosis & rehabilitation can be difficult to nail. The amazing and international authority on the PFJ, Claire Robertson will help you navigate through the maze of fat pad pain, patellofemoral OA and more.
Then what to do about rehabilitation?
Focus on hypertrophy or strength? Endurance or proprioception? How do you account for symptoms without compromising your training load? Internationally-renowned for rehab and conditioning, Dr Claire Minshull will teach you how to construct the most effective and simple rehab plans that align with your patients’ goals, and that help reduce reinjury.
